Chapter 564 Ghastly Ghost King: My Life Is So Hard
The Ghastly Ghost King had to flinch. He looked at the army of the Heavenly Palace at the front, then looked at the cultivators of the White Cloud Sect on the left. Then, he looked at the three Empaths on the right. He suddenly went silent.
He turned to look behind him. He wanted to look for the Big Lord Demon, but he could not find him.
He instantly felt terrible.
He had to recall what the Big Lord Demon said. The Ghost Fire in his eye sockets instantly flickered.
‘He wasn’t just unlucky, he was bloody unlucky!’
‘I came here to fight the puny Underworld. When did I poke the hornet’s nest? Why did they unexpectedly unite together to destroy me? Is this appropriate?’
‘And that Big Lord Demon. He said the world was extremely unfriendly and dangerous.’
‘He’s the one who is unfriendly and dangerous! He purposefully ran away and abandoned me!’
‘My life is so hard.’
Cultivator Junjun and the others looked at the two armies that suddenly appeared to rescue them. They were confused too. They looked at each other with uncertainty.
They were ready to have a death battle with the Ghastly Ghost King. The battle was fated to be harder than any battles they had. After all, the Ghastly Ghost King was powerful. He also had three Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals as his Resentful Spirits. They only had Cultivator Junjun, Goddess Nuwa, Yun Shu, and the Jade Emperor as the four Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals. Their one-on-one battle would be hard. The possibility of defeat was high.
However, it was different when they had backup. The leader of the White Cloud Sect and the elders were Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals. One of them was as powerful as the Ghastly Ghost King. Moreover, they had the three cultivators from the Empath Sect.
They were few in numbers, but they were Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals, after all. Each cultivator was crucial for the results of the battle. Not to mention there were a bunch of them. It was almost like cheating.
The tables had turned. The Ghastly Ghost King instantly went from the winner to the losing side.
Cultivator Junjun looked like he thought of something. He naturally sensed the determination of the Empath Sect and the White Cloud Sect. He had to guess. He saluted and said, “I am Cultivator Junjun. Cultivators, do you know what is… Orange peel?”.
The cultivators of the Empath Sect and the White Cloud Sect all smiled friendly.
Qin Zhongshan saluted and smiled. He said, “You guys must be the cultivators of the Heavenly Palace. I am Qin Zhongshan of the Empath Sect. I do know what an Orange peel is, I also know what a Lollipop is.”
The elders of the White Cloud Sect smiled and said, “I know what a Banana peel is!”
The three sides immediately laughed. They were colleagues for sure.
Cultivator Junjun and the Jade Emperor looked at each other. They were both respectful and touched.
‘The expert is truly the expert. Even though he went on a honeymoon trip, he still cares for the Heavenly Palace. He simply waved and created this set-up to doom the Ghastly Ghost King. He is playing the Ghastly Ghost King in his palm.’ ‘He can turn all the dangerous situations around with his mind while he chats and laughs.’
The Ghastly Ghost King was the only one who did not look happy. He did not expect the cultivators to assemble at all. They were making weird signals in front of him like he was doomed to lose!
The Ghost Fire in his eye sockets swayed from left to right. He took a deep breath and said, “Guys, this is all a misunderstanding. Farewell.”
“Trying to leave? No way!”
The leader of the White Cloud Sect was an old cultivator. His white hair and white beard flowed with the wind like they were going to fly away. He simply cast a spell. A blue longsword that contained endless lightning slashed through the sky. It dragged a trail of powerful lightning. The sword went straight for the Ghastly Ghost King! The powerful electricity it emitted turned countless Resentful Spirits into dust.
Then, the Heavenly Palace and the Empath Sect immediately joined the battle without hesitation. Their powers formed a huge power net. It covered the Ghastly Ghost King and it contained a destructive aura.
Somewhere far away.
The Big Lord Demon led a bunch of Demons, they frightfully looked in the direction of the battlefield. They could feel the powerful aura from there. It was nerve-wracking.
Thankfully, they were experienced. They knew they had to retreat when they heard the arrival of the rescuing armies. They barely survived.
They saw the Dragon-like lightning bolt from afar. It roared and soared through the air. There was fire everywhere too. Endless spells were cast, they looked like never-ending fireworks. Explosions could be heard. It was flashy and majestic.
Then, they heard a desperate roar from the Ghastly Ghost King. “It’s the sky that killed me, not this battle!”
He sounded like he did not want to give in. It was tearfully unfair. They pitied him.
The Big Lord Demon and the others went silent. They felt guilty. The Demons looked at their Big Lord Demon. They did not speak, but they simultaneously backed away from the Big Lord Demon.
The Big Lord Demon was pissed off. He instantly asked, “What is the meaning of this? Is this my fault? Don’t forget that we are a team!”
Somebody weakly asked, “Big Lord Demon, what should we do next?”
The Big Lord Demon sighed, “We should look for a place to hide. We shall wait here and there, wait for opportunities.”
“Big Lord Demon, what is the meaning of ‘here and there’?”
“Stupid! It’s just a saying. Is that important?”
The next day.
At Demon City. Li Nianfan woke up early as usual. He strolled around with Daji.
He had to say the Demon City was successful. A lot of the places were similar to Human cities. They could trade and sell. It was one of the hotspots for Demon activities.
However, very few Humans dared enter the Demon City. It was like how very few Demons dared enter a Human city too.
Kunpeng and Cultivator Mosquito automatically became tour guides. They went along with Li Nianfan to visit the places in Demon City. Meanwhile, they introduced all sorts of Demons to Li Nianfan. They explained the living habits and the powers of the Demons.
Li Nianfan suddenly felt like he was visiting a wildlife safari.
The Little Fox became his pillow. She lifelessly let Li Nianfan hug her. He loved it. Li Nianfan constantly saw Demons in teams walking inside the city. He asked curiously, “Are there no city guards that patrols the place yet?”
Kunpeng answered, “Lord Saint, you probably don’t know this. There are all sorts of Demons here, and they are hard to tame. It’s in their nature to bully the weak when they have authority. The Demon City was built to imitate a Human city, so we naturally can’t allow that to happen here.”
Li Nianfan nodded with understanding.
Demons were very different from Humans. There were Demons like Tiger Demons or Rabbit Demons. It was very complicated and mixed up. It was much harder to manage them.
Which was why a Demon basically conquers a mountain to become a Demon King. The Little Fox was the only creative Demon King that tried to imitate a Human city.
She was a Little Fox with a dream.
That was the best explanation about Demons Li Nianfan received ever since he arrived at the Immortal Realm.
The day silently slipped by without notice.
It was not fully dark yet. Daji and the Fire Phoenix were ready to head towards the Fox Mountain. The invites were already sent out. The three Demons Kings were invited to Fox Mountain. You could guess what Daji and the Fire Phoenix was about to do.
On the other hand, at the Dog Mountain.
Four figures flashed by. They stood at West, North, East, and South respectively. They hid their aura and blended with their surroundings. They were like statues. They silently waited for something.
Finally, the sun went down. As usual, the quiet night covered the sky like a curtain!
